Not the Same
In your spiritual life, what you face today is not a repeat of something earlier, regardless of the similarities. It is not the same because you are not the same. The last time you experienced this, you were not as mature as you are today—not spiritually, emotionally, or in any sense. God’s strength in you, combined with your revelation and understanding of His will have increased.
Isaiah prophesied that the Lord’s government rests on Jesus’s shoulders and that government doesn’t remain the same but is always expanding. His followers are transformed by the Spirit of the Lord—faith to faith, strength to strength, and glory to glory.
The Lord’s government in any given situation is continually increasing. Your authority in the situation is increasing as well. In fact, the only thing reduced is Satan’s part—his interference lessens with every pass. In your spiritual life, each day you are more, and you have more. God-level integrity saturates you.
Amen.
